Mr.. John B. Clarke, editor of the

flee this morning. Mr.. Clarke is stop
ping at the Mt. Mansfield House in

The services at the Congregational

We are unable to give DR.. Royce
space this week for additional testi-
monials. The patronage he is receiv-
ing is remarkable, people coming con-
tinually from far and near. During
his office hours his reception rooms
are overrun.
The Fourth was an exceedingly
quiet day here, with the exception of
the early hours of tie morning, which
were made hideous by the usual bell
ringing and cannon firing. During
the day business was pretty generally
suspended, and large number of our
citizens spent the day at Hyde Park.
DR.. ]. NJ. Sanborn owes US 81 for
the News AND CITIZEN, and we would
like to know his address. He left
Hardwick few weeks ago, where he
has resided for many years, for parts,
to us unknown. Judging from trust
worthy information, Hardwick has
reason to rejoice at his departure.
The fire which broke out Tuesday
night in the house occupied by S. A.
Howard at the foot of High street,
emphasized our need for some organ
lied means of fighting fire. Whatev-
er protection may be decided upon
for the village proper, the fact re-
mains that there are some parts of
the village that could not be reached
from hydlants, and for the protection
of these we need a good engine,
backed up by an organized fire COM
pany, for which we have the best of
material, as Tuesday nights work
shows. The "drug-store" did good
work, but could not be depended on
in a large fire. The fire originated
from the turning over of a lamp, and
had gained great Roadway in the cham
bers and burst out through the roof
when the firemen reached it, but they
worked with will and the fire was ex-
tinguished in a short time. The build
ing was fully insured in the Vermont
Mutual.
The following complimentary notice
of Prof. Taylor and troupe is clipped
from the New London Day of recent
date. The Professor opens at the
Town Hall Thursday night and con-
tinues three evenings -
The performance of Prof. Taylor and
artists at Music Hall, New London, last
evening, terminated a most successful
engagement, and elected profound regret
at their departure. The walls of music
hall will ever remain bright in their
memory. The Professor won new lau-
rels from his ineXhaustible fund of mar
velous and miraculous legerdemain. His
hands are used with a dizziness which
puzzles and confounds the wisest. No
time worn and ordinary tricks are at
tempted, but every illusion is of the high
est original order, which convinces US in
saying comes from a man whom educa-
ton has developed, not conceived, for
his talents are God given and the Profess
sor has the enviable and happy faculty
of holding his large audience entranced.
1t is earnestly hoped that at no distant
day he will return here, The wonderful
act of Mile. Irena has left an
impression which will remain for a life
time. The other artists have the highest
Every one attending
the entertainment was the recipient of
souvenir. The leading present
